Sanctuary states seem to WANT to be part of Mexico. Other states are inundated due to proximity to Mexico and the feds placate the lawbreakers.
Texas charges two over immigrants
Snip: It follows the discovery of 115 people locked inside three small houses close to the border with Mexico.
The latest data available from 2009 show that in Texas 61 percent of households with children (under 18) headed by an immigrant (legal and illegal) used at least one welfare program, compared to 42 percent for native households with children in the state.
The overall use rate for welfare by Texas immigrant households with children (61 percent), is one of the highest in the nation.
In Texas, immigrant households with children tend to use food assistance programs and Medicaid at much higher rates than native households with children. Use of cash and housing programs tends to be similar to natives.
The Center for Immigration Studies estimates that in Texas, 54 percent of households with children headed by legal immigrants used at least one welfare program, compared to 70 percent for illegal immigrant households with children. Illegal immigrants generally receive benefits on behalf of their U.S.-born children.
